About Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease
Hand, foot and mouth disease is a frequent viral infection, mainly in young children, that causes fever, painful mouth ulcers and a blister-like rash on the palms and soles. It is typically mild and clears up on its own within 7 to 10 days. It is not related to foot-and-mouth disease in cattle.
Symptoms of Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease
- Fever and feeling unwell
- Rash that can also appear on the buttocks, knees or elbows
- Red spots that turn into small blisters on the palms and soles
- Loss of appetite and drooling in small children
Causes and Risk Factors
Enteroviruses, most commonly coxsackievirus A16 and enterovirus A71. The virus spreads through saliva, fluid from blisters, coughs and sneezes and stools, so it moves rapidly through nurseries, hotel kids’ clubs and swimming areas. Symptoms usually appear 3 to 6 days after contact. Adults can catch it too, normally with milder symptoms.
